According to www.babycenter.com: "Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds."
Tomorrow (Thursday, September, 24th) I will be 15 weeks pregnant! The baby is getting much bigger and we are now able to feel him/her at times in my tummy, usually after I eat and I have to be laying down on my back. It's too early to tell if I am feeling his head, butt, or leg. Such a neat feeling!!!
Nausea has finally taken a backseat and I am feeling much better these days. It only creeps back up when it's time to eat. Thank goodness for the Second Trimester...and for the occasional Zofran!!!
We are excited about our 16 week appointment (Thursday, October 1st @ 8:50am)! Hopefully, the doctor will be able to determine the sex! What a great birthday present that would be! And, I can't wait to go shopping for either Blue or Pink things!!!
Please keep Baby Mentzer (AKA: Little Munchkin) in your prayers!
